DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following description is of the best-contemplated mode of carrying out the invention. This description is made for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention and should not be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the invention is best determined by reference to the appended claims.

An inflatable bed set of the invention includes an inflatable bed having a mattress and a bed head which are integrated. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the inflatable bed includes a top layer 1, a bottom layer 2 and a lateral layer 3 which is L-shaped. In this embodiment, the lateral layer 3 is formed in a loop connecting the top layer 1 and the bottom layer 2 to form a closed space which is L-shaped, thereby forming the mattress and bed head. A plurality of first pull straps 5 and a plurality of second pull straps 4 are disposed between the top layer 1 and the bottom layer 2 and located in the closed space. The first pull straps 5 are disposed near corners of the closed space, and the second pull straps 4 are disposed in other positions. The first pull straps 5 are longer than the second pull strap 4. At least one cup holder 6 is externally disposed at a top of the closed space. An air pump 7, a power supply 8 and a wire colleting box 9 are disposed on the lateral layer 3.

The first pull straps 5 and the second pull straps 4 can be annular pull straps or barrel-shaped pull straps as shown in FIG. 2. The first pull straps 5 and the second pull straps 4 can be polygonal pull straps, linear pull straps, curved pull straps or wide pull straps as shown in FIG. 4. The first pull straps 5 and the second pull straps 4 can be wide barrel pull straps as shown in FIG. 5 or wave pull strap as shown in FIG. 6. The first pull straps 5 and the second pull straps 4 can be one of the described pull straps or combination of the described pull straps.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, a loop pull strap 10 is disposed in the closed space and connects the lateral layer 3 to the bottom layer 2 to prevent expansion of the lateral layer 3 when air is filled. Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, two loop pull straps 10 are disposed in the closed space and one loop pull strap 10 connects the lateral layer 3 to the top layer 1 and the other loop pull strap 10 connects the lateral layer 3 to the bottom layer 2 to prevent expansion of the lateral layer 3 when air is filled.

Referring to FIG. 11, an inflatable bed set is illustrated. In this embodiment, the inflatable bed comprises a top layer 1 connected to the bottom layer 2 to form a loop, and a lateral layer 3 further connected to the top layer 1 and the bottom layer 2 to form a closed space.

As also shown in FIG. 11, the inflatable bed set further includes an inflatable table 11 and a pair of connectors A and B. The inflatable table 11 is connected to the inflatable bed through the pair of connectors A and B. Referring to FIG. 12, the connector A is disposed on the inflatable bed (the lateral layer 3), and the connector B is disposed on the inflatable table 11. When the connector A is connected to the connector B, the inflatable table 11 is connected to the inflatable bed, and thus air can flow from the inflatable bed into the inflatable table 11 through the connectors A and B or vice versa, whereby air can be pumped into or released from the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 simultaneously by a single air pump. When the connector A and the connector B are separated, the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 are gas-sealed individually. Although the connector A is disposed on the inflatable bed and the connector B is disposed on the inflatable table 11 in this embodiment, they are not limited thereto. The connector A can be disposed on the inflatable table 11 and the connector B can be disposed on the inflatable bed in another embodiment. Referring to FIGS. 13a and 13b , the connector A includes a latch seat A1-1, a first base A1-2, a first securing latch A2, a first elastic member (spring) A3, a first sealing member A4 and a first valve plate A5. Referring to FIGS. 14a and 14b , the connector B includes a switch (knob) B1, a latch B2-1, a second base B2-2, a second securing latch B3, a second sealing member B4, a second elastic member B5, and a second valve plate B6. In this embodiment, the switch B1 is a knob for opening the valve plate B6 to release air from the inflatable table 11 or closing the valve plate B6 to isolate air in the inflatable table 11. Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, when the latch B2-1 is pushed to engage the latch seat A1-1, the connector B is connected to the connector A, and the valve plate A5 is pushed by the connector B to open and the valve plate B6 is pushed by the connector A to open, whereby air flows from the inflatable bed into the inflatable table 11. Thus, the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 are simultaneously inflated. After an inflation of the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 is finished, the connector A is separated from the connector B so that the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 are gas sealed and independent from each other and can be individually used. On the other hand, the connector B can be connected to the connector A so as to release air from the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 simultaneously, wherein air flows from the inflatable table 11 to the inflatable bed through the connectors A and B. It is therefore understood that only one air pump 7 is required to inflate/deflate a plurality of inflatable bodies through a connection of the pair of connectors A and B. Additionally, the plurality of inflatable bodies are gas sealed and independent from each other and can be individually deflated when the connectors A and B are separated. Inflation and deflation of the inflatable bed set of the invention are convenient.

The inflatable bed of the invention includes a mattress and a bed head integrated with the mattress, thereby simplifies the structure, facilitates usage and reduces manufacturing cost thereof. Additionally, the inflatable bed of the invention is attractive in appearance, simple and stable in shape.

While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
